The methods to classify extremal unimodular lattices with given automorphisms are extended to the situation of modular lattices. A slightly more general notion than the type from the PhD thesis of Michael Juergens is the det-type. The…
We construct a $40$-dimensional extremal Type II lattice not having any subsets consisting of $40$ orthogonal minimal vectors, and determine the automorphism group. This lattice gives an example different from the $16470$ lattices…

We extend the results of Ozeki on the configurations of extremal even unimodular lattices. Specifically, we show that if L is such a lattice of rank 56, 72, or 96, then L is generated by its minimal-norm vectors.
It is shown that if there is an extremal even unimodular lattice in dimension 72, then there is an optimal odd unimodular lattice in that dimension. Hence, the first example of an optimal odd unimodular lattice in dimension 72 is…
By constructing explicit examples, we show that the method of Quebbemann yields many isomorphism classes of extremal lattices of rank 64. Many of these examples have no non-trivial automorphisms.

We review a lattice construction arising from quaternion algebras over number fields and use it to obtain some known extremal and densest lattices in dimensions 8 and 16. The benefit of using quaternion algebras over number fields is that…
An even unimodular 72-dimensional lattice $\Gamma $ having minimum 8 is constructed as a tensor product of the Barnes lattice and the Leech lattice over the ring of integers in the imaginary quadratic number field with discriminant $-7$.…
All extremal ternary codes of length 48 that have some automorphism of prime order $p\geq 5$ are equivalent to one of the two known codes, the Pless code or the extended quadratic residue code.
We construct an even extremal lattice of rank 64 by means of a generalized quadratic residue code.
Given a polarization of an even unimodular lattice and integer $k\ge 1$, we define a family of unimodular lattices $L(M,N,k)$. Of special interest are certain $L(M,N,3)$ of rank 72. Their minimum norms lie in $\{4, 6, 8\}$. Norms 4 and 6 do…
The highest possible minimal norm of a unimodular lattice is determined in dimensions n <= 33. There are precisely five odd 32-dimensional lattices with the highest possible minimal norm (compared with more than 8*10^20 in dimension 33).…

For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattice $L$ in dimensions $12,16,20,28,32,36,40$ and $44$, we determine all integers $k$ such that $L$ contains a $k$-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I…
In this article we prove that integral lattices with minimum <= 7 (or <= 9) whose set of minimal vectors form spherical 9-designs (or 11-designs respectively) are extremal, even and unimodular. We furthermore show that there does not exist…
We show that if L is an extremal even unimodular lattice of rank 40r with r=1,2,3 then L is generated by its vectors of norms 4r and 4r+2. Our result is an extension of Ozeki's result for the case r=1.
